[RemcoB78]

I have a ultra and how do I Connect it to my nad c268.

On ultra rca cable in line out to line in nad c268 or ultra line out to nad c268 line out?

On the nad I Only have Connect my speakers. The rest is Connect to the ultra. HDMI and Subwoofer.

What is the best connection? Thanks every one for help.

If you connect it like this, there should be no problem.

Ultra [Line-out]>>[Line-in]C268

If you want to use a 12V trigger, connect Ultra's trigger-out (3.5mm Jack) to the amp's trigger-in.

Thanks. I have it setup like this Now. So it is correct? Were do you use line out for on the c268?

Only if you were wanting to feed its output to a tape recorder or similar, it’s not relevant when using your Ultra.

The C268 manuals state.

The LINE OUT sockets allow “daisy-chaining” - use more than one
amplifier to add speakers to the same channel.
• Use dual RCA cable to connect LINE OUT to the corresponding
analog audio input of compatible devices such as amplifiers,
receivers or other applicable devices.

I believe you can connect the line-out of the C268 to the line-in of another amplifier for simultaneous playback on, say, speakers in another room. (This is also called a zone output.)

@RemcoB78, one more thing you should do is reducing the WiiM Ultra's maximum output voltage to 800 mVrms in the WiiM Home app. The default value is 2 Vrms (equalling 2000 mVrms).

The input sensitivity of the C 268 is 750 mV. This means it will deliver its maximum power output of 80 W when the input voltage is 750 mV.

Reducing the output voltage of the Ultra serves two purposes. a) You (almost) cannot overdrive the power amp's input. b) You make maximum use of the Ultra's volume control range, avoiding loss of resolution.

Don't be afraid of turning up the volume to 60, 70, 80 or more if you want it to be really loud. There's nothing wrong in doing so, quite the contrary.

Thanks for that tip. I had it on 2vrms
